Yesterday the magistrates of the Sittingbonrne Petty Sessions were occupied dui ing the entire day in investigat ing charges preferred by the Crown against Mr,W. Rumble, engineering inspector of machinery at her Majesty's dock yard of Sheerness. These charges were twofold, and alleged distinct breaches of the Foreign Enlistment Act—first, in federate, but did not know much about the difference. Would swear that he did not know it at the time to be a THE TRIALS OF THE TREDGOLDS. The New Novel, by DUTTON COOK, Author of "Leo," may be now obtained at all the Libraries and Book sellers, in 3 volumes, post Bvo. London : Sampson Low, Son, and Marston, 14, Ludgate- Confederate flag. Mr. Giffard objected to the counsel for the prosecution cross-examining his own witness. Mr. Twopenny said that, in the unanimous opinion of the Bench, the manner in which the witness had given his answers was such as to make them regard him as an adverse witness. . _ having, without leave of the Crown, fitted out, or procured to be fitted out, a ship called the Victor, otherwise the Scylla, otherwise the Rappahannock, with intent and in order that she might be employed in the service of the Con federate States of America and their subjects to cruise and The witness, in continuation, said he had been offered two £5 notes if he would sign articles, but refused to do so. The captain read over articles to three of them—they wanted him to fight, he supposed. Having heard the articles would still swear that he did not know to which nation the vessel commit hostilities against the United States of America; with whom her Majesty was at peace; and secondly, in hir- ing or procuring divers persons to enlist in the service of the Confederate States. The presiding magistrates were the Rev. G. B. Moore, Mr. E. Twopenny, and Col. J. Dixon belonged ; forgot what the captain said at the time; he did not pencil it down. If he wanted to fight he would do so in the English service, not the American. It would put his head together again to say how long ago the articles were read over to all hands. Witness would have nothing to do Dyke, and the protracted nature of the inquiry may be gathered from the fact that, although the Court sat at 11 o'clock, the defence was not opened until past S o'clock p.m. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. W. Vernon Har court, instructed by Messrs. Essell, Knight, and Arnold, of Rochester; Mr. Hardinge Giffird, with Messrs. Harris and Lewis, solicitors, appeared for the defendant, who after his arrest had been admitted to bail, himself in £5OO and two sureties is £250 each. with their Government, and persuaded all the others to refuse to sign. In cross-examination the witness manifested even greater reluctance to give direct answer,. to Mr. Gifford, who ob served that witness had at least shown his impartiality. Was first asked to give evidence in Woolwich on Thursday week, by one who went in the name of O'Kelly. The Soli citor to the Treasury took down his statement on •Tuesday last. Had previously spoken to several persons ; could not say to whom, for he had been drinking lately. Where he got the drink from was his own business ; he got no money, but Mr. O'Kelly gave him drink. O'Kelly was a shipping master, who told him to stop from his vessel, a coal screw, which was to sail from London, and he would be paid for his time. Did not ask what he was to be paid; but O'Kelly lent him small sums---7s. in all. lie also got half a sove- Mr. Harcourt, in opening the case on the part of the Crown, said this serious and painful prosecution was insti tuted in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, unhappily too notorious in the present day. Having read the preamble of that Act, the sec tions under which the charges were laid, and that con ferring on the magistrates power to deal with the offence, the learned counsel said the gravity of the accusation against Mr. Rumble lay in the fact that he was not merely one of the individuals falling within the meaning the Act, but a person whose position should have prevented him, above all others, from violating the statute. It would appear that in the latter part of 1863 a vessel no longer suitable for her reign and a piece of paper in his hand, when he was told to remain. Expected ss. a day and something a night for so long as he remained. O'Kelly took him into the Mitre and gave him as much drink as ho liked, and 'bacca ; and he was happy to receive it. (Laughter.) Also went with him to Genoa's, a beershop ; to 26, Minories, London, where he had ale and soup, not at his own expente ; to Poplar and other places. Was not aware whether he went to any office or place to see the American authorities. Had served for, four years in her Majesty's ship Brisk as fireman. Majesty's service, called the Victor, was sold by the Go vernment, under circumstances into which it was unneces- nary to enter, to merchants of the city of London named Coleman and Pearson. After the sale some repairs and alterations of a prima facie innocent character were effected in the dockyard at Sheerness, in effecting which Mr. Rumble took a leading part ; but matters subsequently occurred which showed that if not from the commencement of those • _ _ works, at all events from a very early period, he must have been aware of the purpose to which it was intended to put the vessel. Being in a condition quite unfit to go to sea, suddenly, on the night of the 24th of November, the ves sel, which had been renamed at Scylla, sailed from Sheer ness, and either at the Nore or somewhere before she reached Calais that name was painted out, and a new one—the Rap pahannock—substituted. The captain and officers declared the ship to be a Confederate man-of-war, and invited those on board to sign articles. What did they next find Mr- Rumble doing ? Actually going over to Calais, showing himself in constant communication with the parties on board James Mulowny said he had been engaged as firemen on board the Scylla by Mr. Rumble. The first payment oi 3s was made by Mr. Howe, and for the next week £ L Is. was paid him by Mr. Rumble at his own house. When the vessel left Sheerness she was not in a seaworthy state; every tube in the boiler was bursting. The rigging was not complete, and no sails were bent. There were some new hammocks on board. After leaving Sheerness the Confedo. rate flag was hoisted, and the captain came aboard and read articles, but tone of the crew would join. Witness left two days after the ship arrived in Calais. Saw Mr. Rumble on Calais-quay, and witness and Brooks asked him for a job at boiler-making, and he said, "Yes, go and work on board the ship with the boiler-makers." That was the same ship. Remained on board 14 days. The captain only paid him for eight days' work, and witness applied to Mr. Rumble for the balance; but he denied having hired him in the country. On returning to England witness applied at Mr. Rumble's house and said he would summon him for the rest of the money. Dlr. Rumble appointed to meet him at the Fountain at 12 o'clock, but did not keep his word. The same afternoon he went to his house, and Mrs. the Rappahannock, and engaging men to go out from Eng land to serve in various capacities in that vessel I Under such circumstances it was obvious that the Crown could take no other course than to submit the transaction to the most searchigg investigation. The prisoner was a gentleman oc cupying a position of the highest respectability and impor tance,one which enabled him to compromise the character of the Government and the honour of the nation ; and assuming the facts which he had stated to be true, the Government and the nation, if they did not take the most active steps to detect and punish the guilty party, would expose themselves to the imputation of a fraudulent neutrality, which every civi lised nation justly resented. It would be sufficiently to be de precated if merchants for the sake of gain attempted to de teat the law; but a man holding an official position under Government, and availing himself of that position to defeat the enactment, was more highly censurable, for he endan gered the peace and welfare of the country. If the charges were true, this was the case of a man bearing the Queen's commission and yet engaging in transactions grossly violating his allegiance and injuring the nation of which he was a citizen. Evidence to the following effect was then given : Rumble gave him a sovereign in the presence of her hus band. In consequence of what he heard witness afterwards went to Mr. Howe and received from him the sum of 8s Bd, and then took back to Mr. Rumble the sovereign he had advanced him until he received his wages. Mr. Howe was landlord of the Fountain. The witness was cross-examined at length concerning what passed when the sovereign was advanced, but per sisted in representing that the transaction was not a loan. Mr. Rumble told him it was a pity he had not seen Mr. Brown, the owner of the ship, but he said Mr. Rumble had employed him, and to him he should look for payment. The witness at first stated that no one had been aware what evi. dente he was to give that day, but afterwards modified that assertion, limiting his statement to the details of the pecu niary transaction. Had served in the British navy, and was dismissed the service for taking leave. Was three years on board the Emerald. Thomas Firth, a holder-up in Woolwich factory, deposed that while the Scylla was lying at Sheerness in the latter part of ISG3 he was engaged as storekeeper on board. Mr. Rumble paid him £i is. wages for the first week, and said the men at work upon her were to have is. a week and their provisions as long as the vessel lay there. He desired that if anything were short he should be applied to, and on witness telling him that there was a cask of oil short Mr. Rumble made an entry in his pocketbook. On the day the Scylla left Sheerness witness was called into the cabin by Mr. Ferguson, acting as chief engineer of the vessel, and in presence of the defendant Mr. Ferguson asked him to sign the ship's articles, saying that witness was to have £7 a month, and the other firemen £6, Mr. Rumble asked which way the witness would like to have his money sent home, and he replied that he should like to handle it him self, asking at the same time for money to buy a shirt, as he had nothing but what he stood upright in. From Sheer ness the ship went to Calais. He did not see anything George Bailey, boilermaker, went from Sheerness to Ca lais to work upon the Rappahannock, in consequence of two fellow-workmen named Joseph Williams and Thos. Giffard asking him to do so. AMe. Bagshaw took them all three to Mr. Rumble's house, and they waited outside while he went in. When he came ont he gave Giffard three £5. notes, and told them they had 14 days' leave to do a 10 days' job. They went to Calais next day, eight in all. Mr. Rumble was on board the packet in which they crossed, and be imagined he went to Calais also; at least the boat did not stop till it got there. (Laughter.) The boilers Nem in a very bad state. It would have taken two months to repair them with the quickest and best tools. Mr. Gifford objected to this line of examination as quite irrelevant to the present inquiry, though it might be in tendedstate in which vessels had been sold by them. iNi r o . slii el d her Harcourt denied Government by showing the that he was influenced by any ulterior motives in putting the questions. The witness said that the job not being satisfactory to w him he returned to Dover, when he was sent for into the room of the railway, an d f o und Mr. Rumble and a lady sitting at the fire. Mt. Rumble asked what made him leave the ship, and he replied that the job was not accord ing to the agreement made with him at Sheerness, and also because the provisions were not satisfactory to him. Mr. Rumble said if he did not like living on board he could live on shore, and offered him £lO to go back by the night boat to Calais. Witness refused to do so, having a ticket for Sheerness, and wishing to see his wife. He asked Mr. Rumble whether his leave at the dockyard was all right, and he said he knew nothing at all about it. In cross-examination the witness said O'Kelly had come to the dockyard after him last Tuesday, but ho refused to give him any information about Calais. He had only seen a O'Kelly three times in a ll. W illi am Ellis, John Good, and Joseph Williams, boiler makers, who had also gone t o C ala i s, gave ev id ence o f a lik e character. Th e y concurre d in the assertion that for the first few days the ship had not any flag flying ; after that the Confederate flag w as hoi sted. Charles betraying symptoms of un steadiness, intervals of reflection were twice afforded by the be nch, to enable him to elect between being sw orn or going into custody, deposed that he went with the Scylla to Calais. The captain read the ship's articles to Newton, and toa whom witness, itea him, and told him she was a Confederate man-of-war—he was to fight for love of his Country, and the crew for money. When leaving the ship £3 oe. 6d. were put on the table, he could not say by whom, and witness was told to put it in his pocket. The vessel was not fit for sea when witness left her ; the yard was top on end, and dry stores were stowed away in the magazine and shell room. Cross-examined —Never was in a man-of-war in his life. Did not know what a " magazine and shell room" were. The dry goods were milk and such like. (Laughter.) Richard Spendrift had shipped on board the Scylla the day she left Sheerness, and before doing asked Mr. Rumble for a character, which he gave in a note to the mate of the vessel. Afterwards he saw Mr. Rumble on board looking after the Government stores. The name of the vessel was changed on the pass age to Calais. The boilers were very bad, only three of the six were in working order, and the vessel was not in a fit state to go to sea. There were what wit ness understood to be fighting boilers on board the Scylla ; at first he stated these not to have been in fighting order, but afterwards reversed this statement. Had been 17 years and seven months in the navy. In the Scylla hammock hooks were in their places for swinging about 150 hammocks. Did not see any hammocks but those the men slept in going over. A new captain came on board at Calais, ordered up all hands, and told them it was a Confederate man-of-war. He informed the crew that the prize money was to go forward. He did not say what the ship was to do, or where it was to cruise ; but told them he had been chief mate of the Alabama. Witness left in five or six days afterwards. Wm. O'Kelly was the next witness. He described him self as an American shipping agent, whose business it was to procure seamen for American vessels. Last November, understanding that there was a vessel at Sheerness requir ing his services he went there, but found she had gone. He accosted Mr. Rumble, saying that ho knew some good men who wanted to go in the Scylla. Mr. Rumble said he was too late, but asked could the witness get good men, adding that about 20 would be required. He referred witness to Mr. Coleman's office, 9, Clement's-lane, Lombard street, for par ticulars, and on the Saturday following saw him there. Mr Rumble said, "There is nothing doing at present, but if you call again Mr. Pearson will let you know." On the Tuesday after ho again saw him, and said, " Mr. Rumble, I understand you are sending men over—there aro some went on last night," to which Mr. Rumble replied, " I have nothing to do with the ship now, it was bought by Mr. Coleman from Mr. Pearson. Mr. Pearson is a bank rupt, and c annot make a purchase, but as they are brothers • flying till the day after they arrived there; it was the Con federate flag—a flag with 13 stars. Witness remained on board five days after her arrival, and then left because he did not like the vessel. (Laughter.) Alfred Stephenson Ginno, of Woolwich, deposed that the day or day hut one alter ho went on board the Scylla Mr. Rumble asked Mr. Carr " What men are these ?" pointing to witness and Friends, a man now aboard the ship. Being told that they were seamen, and had formerly been in the Australian trade, Mr. Rumble asked whether they were " willing to join the Scylla, of London." Replying in the affirmative, they were told to go on with their work. Mr. Rumble paid him one week's wages. During the voyage to Calais, early on Thursday morning, a flag was hoisted, which he was told was the Confederate flag ; but it was only a makeshift, prepared on board the ship. Mr. Harcourt proposed to ask the witness what was said by Mr. Ramsay, the acting captain of the ship at the time the flag was hoisted, with a view of establishing the nation ality and character of the vessel. Mr. Giffard objected. Words taking the form of acts, such as the hailing of another vessel and commanding her to strike, would be clearly admissible ; and his learned friend was trying to get out a mere conversation between persons on board the vessel. Mr. Harcourt replied that a formal declaration of the captain was an act of the same import as hoisting the Con federate flag, which without such a declaration might have been an unauthorised accidental occurrence. At the suggestion of the Bench the form of the question was altered, and the witness replied that no declaration was made by Capt. Ramsay to the crew at the time when the flag,was actually hoisted; but there was such a declaration while the flag was being made. It was very hot below, and witness came out of the stokehole for a blow, and saw the captain on his knees along with some sailmakers, who were cutting out a piece of bunting. Looking up at the witness, Capt. Ramsay said, " I am going to give you a flag and a new name. I won't disgrace you. I will give her a classical name." Duty called witness away then, and, re turning some time afterwards, he said to the captain, " I beg your pardon, sir, what name has the ship got now ?" (Laughter.) Capt. Ramsay desired bim to tell anybody below who might ask the question that the name was the " Rapper-annock," and that she was a Confederate mau-of war. The vessel sailed from Sheerness on Tuesday night, arrived in Calais on Thursday morning, and witness re mained on board till the following Tuesday. During the time she flew the Confederate ensign and pennant—a fresh one, not the one hoisted at sea. Tho ship's officers wore a gray uniform and glazed caps. James Hurford, of Woolwich, labourer, who had been employed on board the Scylla as chief stoker, depos,d that he was paid two weeks' wages by the defendant. Captain Campbell was in command at Calais while he remained on board. Could not tell the difference between the Federal and Confederate flags. In crass-examination, the witness said that Mr. Rumble, when paying him his wages, mentioned that the owner was away, and had requested him to do so. James Brooks, leading fireman in the Scylla, at Sheerness, last November, deposed that he was paid wages by a gentle man whom he only saw once. Ramsay might be the gentle man's name, or it might not. The other gentleman stood by the companion ladder, and put the money in his hand. He looked at the money more closely than he did at the gentleman. Saw a gentleman at Calais opposite the station, had a conversation with him, but had not sewn him since. Could not swear that the gentleman was not in the room at that moment ; but did not see him. The witness was cautioned by the Bench as to the monner in which he was giving his evidence ; and being requested to see whether the gentleman he alluded to was then in the room, he looked slowly and carefully round, apparently avoiding the quarter where defendant sat. On a further scrutiny he at last said he thought he saw a gentleman in the room whom he had seen in Calais ; that gentleman was the defendant, but he could not swear positively. Mr. Harcourt proposed to ask the nature of the conversa tion at Calais. Mr. Giffard, however, said the identity of the gentleman must first be clearly established. nile tiva objection wad being discussed, the witness was ~~~', 4.4 . .

Campbell, then in Calais." Witness said, "I have a good mind to go over and see Captain Campbell," and Mr. Rumble replied, " Well, I would go if I were you"—rather in a bantering tone. Witness rejoined, " I will go if I can raise the money," and defendant said, " Why don't you go ?" They then parted. Witness went that night to Calais, and next morning went alongside the ship Rappa hannock; she had no colours hoisted then, as it was before g o'clock—she had no colours hoisted that day. At 11 o'clock the same day alongside the Rappahannock witness met Mr. Rumble in company with Mr. Ramsay, the chief officer of the ship. He asked me (said the witness) what I was doing there, I said I came according to his advice. He said, "Now, are you honest P' I said, "Certainly." He observed, pointing to Mr. Ramsay, " This is the man who got me into all this trouble." I said, " The re is no more trouble now; she is in a French port." He said, "Right ; now we don't care who knows it." He then said to Mr. Ramsay, "This is the man that can find us a crew. Mr. Ramsay said, "He had better see the first lieutenant." I said, " No, I want to see Captain Campbell himself." The witness described his meeting with Captain Campbell, who told him he should not want a crew for six weeks; and next deposed to the following conversation as having been originated by Mr. Rumble:— He said, "Now, can I depend upon you ?" I said, "Certainly." He said, "We thought you belonged to the other party." I told him, "No, I be long to no party." He then said, " She will want 40 men." I said, " More like 100." He remarked, " This is a money making affair." I said, "I know it is, if it is properly worked." He said, "We will work together." I said, " Certainly ; share and share alike." He then inquired, "What are you going to do now?" I said, "I am going to London by the next boat, as I consider my business here as done." He said, "It is done; leave everything else to me." And he proposed to meet me at Pearson's office at 10 o'clock on Saturday. I went to Mr. Pearson's office, but I did not see Mr. Rumble there or again till to•day. I was taken ill on the following Sunday and continued very ill for three weeks. He gave me a sovereign just before I left Calais. Cross. examined—When he gave me the sovereign I told him that I had nine children, I also told him I was very poor. I have been a shipping master for American ships since 1853. I am of Irish extraction, but I hail from London —can I swear where I was born ? I believe I was born in Limerick, but have no recollection of my mother country. I live at No, 5, Havering-street, London—place of business, No. 5, High-street, Shadwell. Before 1853 I was a master tailor, carrying on business at 15, Banks-place, New-road, for three or four years, under the same name, I never had any other. Before this I was for seven years a journeyman tailor, working at Stultz's, Hujee's, and Cartwright's. For three years I was manager and head foreman of Dunn's Tailor Labour Agency, Newington-causeway, London. Be fore that I was a little boy, (Laughter.) lam now about 48 years of age. After seeing Mr. Rumble I stayed in Sheer ness till 2 o'clock; during the interval I telegraphed. I should not know the place again, nor yet the name of the person to whom I telegraphed ; I believe it was to a Mr. Gifford. I got no answer. I was accompanied by a friend, a London pilot. Ido not remember his name. In speaking to Mr. Rumble I did not give my own name. I gave him that of Williams. I never previously passed by any other false name. I saw they were using shams, and I thought I might as well use a sham as another. I borrowed the money to go to Calais from a friend, and am not obliged to give his name. Suppose it was from "my uncle." Being pressed on this point, the witness said he would not answer. Being directed to do so by the Bench, he said it was "a Mr. Nunn, a clerk in the City living in West bourne-square." Mr. Gifford—When first, if ever, did you have any con versation with personaconnected with the United States of America. The witness fenced with this question, and the evasive answer which he returned was taken down. The question being repeated, he said he had been in constant communica tion with the authorities of the United States since 1853; the nature of his business was such as to require it. He was not connected with the United States Consul, or any of the American authorities, when he went on his mis sion to Sheerness. He went simply as a shipper of seamen for American ships, and not in any way in relation to a sup posed equipping of a Confederate ship. First got into com• munication with the members of her Majesty's Government on that day fortnight. Mr. Knight sent for him on that day. A telegraphic message reached him in the West India Dock. Would not swear from whom the message came. Still carried on the business of a tailor, as well as that of shipping-master at his home, 41, Smith-street, Mile-end road, Stepney. The prosecution closed at this point, and Mr. Giffard addressed the Bench for the defence, contend ing that no infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act had been committed by his client, and on the contrary that all at tempts to fix him with a guilty intention had failed. His learned friend conveniently overlooked the fact that the Government had sold the vessel to the very parties to whom Mr. Rumble, in perfect good faith, was giving such slight assistance as was habitually afforded in every one of the great shipping ports. And it must be borne in mind that everything done towards getting out the vessel prior to her departure from Sheerness was done under the oyes of all the Government officials in the dockyard. After the vessel reached France it had, indeed, been shown that Mr. Rumble still took an interest in her ; but this was intelligible as soon as it was mentioned that, from considerations of per sonal friendship towards the owner of the Scylla, Mr. Rumble had become guarantee for the payment of trades men in Sheerness, with whom that owner had been deal ing. liis object in proceeding to Calais was simply to pro cure the money for which he had thus made himself liable. At the outside all that could be entertained against his clientwas suspicion,and he asked the bench to setagainst con siderations of that nature the high reputation Mr. Rumble had always maintained. Mr. Rumble read an explanatory statement of the circum- stances involved in his connexion with the Scylla ; and ex ptessly contradicted many statements of the witness for the prosecution, more particularly those made by O'Kelly. After a few minutes consultation in their own room, the Chairman announced the decisiyn of the Bench, which was to send the case for trial. At the request of Mr. Gifford, who pointed out that the requisite power existed under the 4th section of the Act, their Worships committed the defendant for trial before the Court of Queen's Bench. Bail was again accepted in the same amount as before. The proceedings lasted till a very late hour. PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. Catholics for learning a verse of Holy Scripture, and where these same people went away cursing the Protestants, and cursing the very persons who gave them bread and taught them the verse. I could tell you of agents who were known to be charged with drunkenness and other vices, who entered in their report that they were persecuted when they merely got into broils in their drunkenness, and who were, in spite of the remonstrances of the parish clergyman, retained in their offices. I could tell you of a report made by ono ordained agent that he had made fourteen convicts from Romanism in a certain locality, and who had to acknow ledge, when I inquired closely into the matter, that these fourteen persons did not belong at all to that locality ; that they had been brought there by this agent himself from distant places, and lodged in a school-house, and then represented as converts from the locality, where they had been supported for a few weeks. These and many other facts I could repeat ; and there are multitudes of clergymen in Ireland who aro able to bear similar testimony from their own experience. But I should prefer to confine our present controversy to the one grand objection—the charge of what I must call bribery ; which I define to be the giving of any temporary relief to our fellow-creature for the purpose of tempting him to do what his conscience condemns." Mr. Webster then proceeds to observe that multitudes of the supporters of the society in England would never, he was quite sure, give their money for the purpose of bribery ; and that it may be for this reason the society is so careful to inform the English people that all the money collected in England is devoted to the " missionary " part of the work. "Be this as it may," he adds, "it is a remarkable fact that the society loses no opportunity of declaring that ' net one shilling of the money collected in England is devoted to the purchase of food or clothes ;' but nearly all the money collected in. Ireland is devoted to this purpose;" and he concludes by truly observing, "In the long rua I believe it will be discovered that the Irish Church Mission Society has done irreparable mischief to the Church in Ire land." These are bold and sweeping statements, certainly ; and coming from such a respectatde and well-informed guar will have immense weight if they cannot be clearly and unquestionably refuted—which I doubt. The Chancellor of Cork is not a man to make such charges lightly, and his exposures must, in any case, do a large amount of good. This Day, in Two Vols., Demy Octavo, 325., F ORTY YEARS IN AMERICA.

The Society for Church Missions in Ireland has met with a damaging exposure. The Rev. George Webster, rector of St. Nicholas, Cork, and chancellor of the diocese, in a lec ture which he delivered in his church, charged the society with " bribing its supposed converts." A correspondence ensued between him and the Rev. H. C. Eade, the secretary of the society, which throws much light on the way converts are made in Ireland. " The terrible fact," says Mr. Webster, addressing Mr. Eade, "with which you have to grapple is, that under your society a Roman Catholic child receives his bed and breakfast—he is housed and clothed—on the express condition that he listens to Protestant teaching, and attends a Protestant place of worship." Mr. Eade's reply is worthy of Jacobar or Sanchez, or any casuist of the Sorbonne : "The attraction lies in the teaching, and not in the food"--a remark which every one acquainted with the comparative affection which children manifest for their catechism and their breakfast will appreciate. Ho also admits that in some cases the children " believed at first they were doing wrong"—in other words, the heresy was swallowed with the viands provided, and the integrity of the child was destroyed in the effort to save its soul through its stomach. Mr. Webster observes upon this that it is wholly unworthy of Protestantism to make the poverty of the Roman Catholics an occasion for outbidding or over reaching the heads of the Roman Catholic Church—and therefore "as long as you tempt Roman Catholics, by a re gular fixed system of relief, to prefer the interests of this world to the interests of the world to come, so long must I ,eel myself bound to make every protest in mypower against the Irish Church Mission So ciety." He then notices the speech of the Bishop of Ox ford, and expresses his sor row to find that his lordship was misinformed. He would see cause to change his mind if he was acquainted with the facts which ho Mr. Webster, and many other clergymen could have furnished. He was deeply grieved to see that many other Englishman had fallen into the same mistake, and had taken up the notion that the Irish Church, Mission is really doing a go od work in Ireland. His only comfort was, that so much of the machinery of this society is worked by Engl shmen, that when in a few years th ey discover the mischief they have done, and the very imp 3rfect grounds upon which they continue to believe they wei working with success, they will not have to charge th a Irish cletgy with being the cause of their mistake. Mr. We bster then proceeds to make the following startling dieco rust !s :—" If it were necessary, I could give instances where I he ordained agents of the Irish Church missions paid P rotestants to pretend they were Roman Catholics at your controversial meetings, and at these meetings to call thorA v ery ordained a gents the hardest names. I could tell y , au of a school o f which it was reported that there were eigh .ty Roman Catholics in attend ance, when the fact was, not .a single Roman Catholic. over entered the plac e , , exec pt some five or Bl x wretched children who w e: t sone fa one D u blin by the Irish Church Mission Society. I con id tall you of a scene I once witnessed at the same est, .blislai cent, where on a Sunday morning large quantities pf b rQ A were given to Roman SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, TIMES.—Ten years ago the Holy Alliance, which had through many changes and calamities main tained the political system of Central Europe, was finally brought to an end by an Austrian army marching into the Danubian Principalities to take the place of the Russians, who had entered so triumphantly a few months before, and were then retiring in ignominy and humiliation. The most powerful and dreaded Sovereign in the world had made the capital blunder of his life, a blunder which, even if he had lived, he could probably never have repaired. The greatest revolution, in our time, in the international relations of the European States was caused by the pretension of the Emperor Nicho las, in the fulness of his power, to take "a material guarantee" for the performance of engagements said to have been made by the Porte. A little matter, one out of the many quarrels about the Holy Places, led to events of which we are still feeling the effects. The love of peace, the respect due to a great Power, which in former times had made great sacrifices in the cause of European liberty, did not prevent this country from taking up arms in a dispute in which we were originally in no way concerned, because Russia had committed the unheard-of violence 'of of seizing a province in order to further a negotia tion. What the late Czar did then Prussia and Austria are doing now. They are marching their troops to invade Schleswig, over which they have no rights, which does not form part of the Ger man Confederation, because Denmark is supposed to have made a breach of engagements entered into by her in 1831. In other words, they are about to seizs Schleswig, and hold it until the Danish Government promises to govern it in the manner which they think fitting, Such a proceed ing is even more reprehensible than the worst act of the late Emperor of Russia's reign, for he claimed, and really possessed by treaty, a Protectorate over Moldo-Wallachia, and he had formerly asserted the very same right of military occupation which was contested at this time. It is, therefore, to be hoped that, in spite of their threats and the madness of their subjects, the Rulers of Prussia and Austria will hesitate before shedding blood in this unjust enterprise. When the act is once done it can not be recalled. When the lines of the Dannewerk are once attacked, it may be impossible to check the impulses which are urging on all parties to a calami tous war. The brains of the Germans will be hotter when once shots have been exchanged, and though the soldiers of the two leading Powers are generally kept well in hand, and are less likely to assert their own will than the troops of countries with less sense of responsibility, yet no one can say what may be the effect on the invading armies of a battle, whether lost or won. A victory which should drive the Danes from their position might be followed by a military outcry for the confiscation of the Duchies as loud as that which rings through the political and civilian world of Germany. It can hardly be doubted that the Pretender would transfer himself from the :Holstein territory to Schleswig, or to Flensburg, or to wherever the allied troops had penetrated, and would there, "as a private indi vidual," work his system of agitation among the people of the Northern Duchies by means of parti sans as able as those who have provisionally given him a throne in Holstein. We do not doubt the resolution of both Sovereigns to be masters in their dominions. The King of Prussia has proved his own by proroguing the Prussian Chambers, and the Emperor of Austria will probably find an ally in the non-German element in his States and Legisla ture, and thus control the enthusiasm of Vienna. But if the war party have gone so far in their de monstrations at present, what would they not do if a real German victory had been won for the first time for 50 years ? Nations whose military history is not crowded with events are naturally much ex cited by even such a success as 40,000 Austrians and Prussians might gain over half their number of Danes; and we may fairly presume that a victory woald render almost impossible the programme of the tyro Governments themselves, as stated by M. von Bismark. Prussia and Austria have laid it down that a dynastic union between the Duchies and the Kingdom, analogous to the union between Norway and Sweden, is a settlement which will satisfy them, that it was all that they wanted in 1851, and exactly what they thought had been conceded when they signed the treaty of 1852. He must, however, be very credulous who believes that if the Danes should be driven out of Schleswig by force of arms, the German people would see the two Duchies restored to King Christian without a com motion that would bring back to us the memories of 1848. If, then, the Sovereigns wish to govern their own dominions in peace, they will avoid ex citing German ambition by the novel sensation of victory. It need hardly be said that defeat would be still more dangerous. Suppose, what is quite possible, that the Austro-Prussian army is repulsed from before the Danish works, the pulse of every nation would beat faster under the influence of the most exciting news that can be told to them—the successful resistance of a small army to the forces of two great and plainly aggressive powers. Defeat would of course rouse the Germans even more than success, and it would be impossible for the t wo Sovereigns to retreat without having taken a strik ing revenge for their humiliation. But the states men of the two powers may be invited to reflect on what would be the feeling among their neighbours East and West if this contest were to be prolonged, if the Danes were to hold their own week after week, while fresh troops were being sent forward from Germany to crash them by main force. Let not the Germans be too sure that all the gAnd reat powers would stand tamely by in such a case. even if the allies are allowed to finish successfully the war which they have begun unjustly, they may be sure that the advantages of wrongdoing will not be unmixed with disaster. The war of aggression, carried on by the two powers against the wishes o f all other nations, w ill assuredly be the beginning of pe. It happens in such ne w changes in E cases that the weight of the punishment falls on th e less guilty of the accomplices. We do not pretend to apportion the blame between the two powers which are now doing this evil of disturbing the Con tinent, bat so far as can be judged from appearances Austria is less in fault than Prussia. The Vienna Government has been less vacillating and less openly contemptuous of right. But in the future Austria will probably suffer more than her ally. The Empire is t on e which has everything to lose by public commo tions. Prussia is certainly a "paper State," the creation of battles and treaties; and by an act of retribution, which we need not anticipate, the King is not unlikely to lose a province. But the Austrian Empire may be broken to pieces by that very prin ciple of nationality which the Emperor now affects to defend, If anything were wanting to prove to the Viennese Government the extreme unwisdom of its conduct, it would be the hopes which have been suddenly aroused among all the leaders of the revolution" and the excitement which is be ginning to prevail in the disaffected States of the Empire. Those stormy petrels of the political world, M. Mazzini, M. Kossuth, and their brethren, will be fluttering anew into importance before the , - - 2_ _z z ,‘ campaign has begun a week. Italy will not byli rg tAlti to lose so fair a chan ce o f ga i n i ng th e l o ng , A piece of territory for the sake of which th the rest of the Peninsula is burdening its and submitting to heavy military service. so powerful an army the Italians may d gteit-L'A things; with so expansive an army they mus;, -- *- fore long do something. There were rumours OIL probable movements this year even before the King of Denmark died, or any one thought that the ene mies of Austria would receive from herself so fair an opportunity. It is hardly likely that the designs which these enemies cherished when there was the great obstacie of perfect European quiet against them will be abandoned now that the imprudence of the Viennese Government gives them occasion awl pretext, and, moreover, takes away part of the Austrian army to the extreme north of Europe. Everywhere that Austria has a foe there is expec tation and an evident longing that she should attack the Danes. Every where that revolutionists con gregate there is an idea that this enterprise will further their plans. Can there be a better reason that a Government so much threatened should pause and reflect? DAILY NEWS.—It is important at the present crisis, and indeed essential to any satisfactory solu tion of the diffi3ulty, that the demand of the Ger man Powers on Denmark should be looked at broad:y in the light of reason and justice, and its real bear ing and obvious issues examined according to the principles of common equity and common sense. Hitherto there has been on all sides an immense amount of prolix and unprofitable discussion as to the precise interpretation of certain phrates in the friendly and informal correspondence which took place between Denmark and Germany twelve years ago. But, however these verbal questions may be decided, the broad fact remains, that at that period the German Powers regarded the restoration of the Provincial Estates of Schleswig, and the en- largement of their powers, as a complete and satis factory fulfilment of the royal promise not to incor porate the Dachy with the Kingdom. So far front a common Constitution having been then regarded as any violation Of infringement of this pledge, it is notorious that in tha very document containing this engagement with regard to Schleswig, the King pledged himself to promulgate such a Constitution as soon as possible. The Royal Proclamation Gf January the 28th, 1852, contained in outline the scheme of a common Constitution, or central legis lative organ for the entire monarchy, and this schema was accepted by the German Powers and the Diet as perfectly legitimate and satisfactory. They recognised the power of providing such a Con stitution as one of the essential rights of a sovereign S tote, and the Diet accepted the proposed scheme, so far as its competence extended, as being "in con formity_ with the laws and rights of the Confedera- tion." The Danish Government accordingly matured and promulgated it, in accordance with the terms of the Royal promise. This Constitution established a central organ or general legislative assembly for the whole monarchy, based upon the equal repre sentation of all its parts, according to the ratio of population and taxation. No sooner, however, had this Constitution come into operation than the Diet demanded its abrogation, so far as the German Duchies were concerned, on the ground that all its provisions had not been submitted to the decision of the Provincial Estates; The Danish Government protested against the legality of this demand, and pointed out the impracticability of meeting the requirement on which it was founded. The Estates of Holstein, on being appealed to, con firmed this representation of the Danish Govern ment by denouncing every scheme of a common constitution as incompatible with the definitive rights of the German Duchies. Eventually, under a threat of Federal execution, the constitution was withdrawn as far as Holstein and Lauenberg were concerned. It still, however, remained in force beyond the limits of Federal territory, being esta blished as a constitutional law in Schleswig and Denmark Proper. At this point the Diet interfered again, demanding that there should be no legis lation in common affairs before the Danish Govern ment had come to a decision with regard to the future position of the German Duchies in the monarchy. Under these circumstances, the only course that remained for the Danish Government was to bestow complete provincial autonomy on Holstein and Lauenburg, and provide for the effec tive working of the common constitution in the Danish portions of the monarchy. This latter object is precisely what was secured by the November Con stitution. It seems clear, therefore, that if the common constitution conflicts in any way with the royal promise, this is due not to the action of the Danish Government, but to the action of the German Powers and the Diet. The Danish Government having done its utmost to fulfil its engagements to the letter appears to have been per sistently thwarted at every step by the paralysing action of the Diet. It is essential that the demand now made by the German Powers should be looked at broadly in the light of these facts, in order that its real character and bearing may be clearly under stood. It is especially incumbent on statesmen who aro concerned for the preservation not only of the peace, but of the public rights of Europe as a system of independent States, to look through all superficial pleas and pretexts to the real grounds and actual issues of such a requirement. The demand now made by the German Powers denies to Denmark the right of uniting the purely Danish portions of the monarchy in a central representative assembly for legislation in common affairs, and if successful would inevitably destroy all possibility of united action, or indeed of any legislative action at all, on behalf of common national objects. Now it scarcely need be said that the liberty of securing such united . action is for Denmark not on ly a fun damental right, but a paramount political n ecesa say, absolutely essential to her existence as an independent State. There are a number of ques tions, such as the administration of the finances, the army and navy, the tariffs of the country, the foreign-office, which are of necessity common to the Danish portions of the monarchy, and which in a constitutional country can only, therefore, be pro perly decided by a common legislative assembly. The persistent intervention of the Diet in questions affecting the German Duchies has paralysed all effective constitutional action in the purely Danish portions of the monarchy for nearly seven years past. Measures of financial reform, including tariff changes designed to stimulate the commerce and develop the resources of the country, have long since been prepared, and only await the settlement of the dispute with the Diet to be submitted to the come mon assembly and adopted as law. At length the time for the revived political action of the Danish State appeared to have arrived. The German Duchies being virtually abandoned to the Confede ration, it was possible to resume political and legis lative action for the Danish portion of the monarchy. At this point the German Powers step in, and de mand that the political and legislative paralysis of the last few years shall be made the chronic and permanent condition of the Danish State. Stripped of all disguise this demand amounts to a claim on the part of the German Powers to break up the Danish monarchy ; and it is hardly surprising, therefore, that the Dane 3 should resolve on resist• twee, and be prepared to entertain very extreme alternatives before quietly surrendering their terri torial integrity and political independence.

Blakely's 9-inch guns, built up exactly like the Armstrong muzzle loaders, with the exception of their being made of steel instead of wrought iron, were on Friday received at the proof butt in Woolwich Arsenal. Each gun was conveyed by a team of 18 horses attached to one of Pickford's heavy trucks. When they were within about 50 yards of the proof butt the road gave way, and the proof was unavoidably deferred. One of the guns was yesterday brought wader the sheers at the proof butt, and was loaded with a charge of 451 b of powder, and a cylinder weighing 3 cwt and 1 qr. It was fired one round, when a slight flaw was discovered in the breech part near the trunnions, and the proof was ordered to be discontinued. The other gun still remains stuck fast in the broken road.
